Markdown Syntax Guide

Markdown is a lightweight markup language used to add formatting to plain text. It's widely used for writing documentation, creating readme files, and formatting content for websites. Here’s a guide to the basic syntax of Markdown.

1. Headers

Headers are created using the#symbol. The number of#symbols indicates the header level:

# Header 1
    ## Header 2
    ### Header 3
    #### Header 4
    ##### Header 5
    ###### Header 6

2. Emphasis

You can apply emphasis to text using asterisks or underscores:

*Italic* or _Italic_
    **Bold** or __Bold__
    ***Bold and Italic*** or ___Bold and Italic___

3. Lists

Markdown supports both ordered and unordered lists:

% Unordered list
    - Item 1
    - Item 2
      - Subitem 1
      - Subitem 2

    % Ordered list
    1. First item
    2. Second item
       1. Subitem 1
       2. Subitem 2

4. Links

To create hyperlinks, use the following syntax:

[Link text](https://www.example.com)

5. Images

To include images, use a similar syntax to links but with an exclamation mark at the start:

![Alt text](https://www.example.com/image.jpg)

6. Blockquotes

Blockquotes are created using the>symbol:

> This is a blockquote.
    > It can span multiple lines.

7. Code

Inline code is enclosed in single backticks, and code blocks are enclosed in triple backticks:

Inline code: `code`

    Code block:
    ```
    function hello() {
        console.log("Hello, World!");
    }
    ```

8. Horizontal Rules

Horizontal rules are created with three or more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores:

---
    ***
    ___

9. Tables

Tables are created using pipes and hyphens:

| Header 1 | Header 2 |
    |----------|----------|
    | Row 1    | Data 1   |
    | Row 2    | Data 2   |

10. Task Lists

Task lists are created using hyphens and square brackets:

- [ ] Task 1
    - [x] Task 2 (completed)
    - [ ] Task 3
